Prince shoud play Little Richard but he's old and crazy.

Bruno has a soft & mellow voice (like MJ circa 1979-1982) so I don't think he would've done it perfectly...

Bruno can play Michael though, if that's possible.

Somebody already played him, Leon, who they usually get to play soul/R&B singers (Little Richard, Jackie Wilson, David Ruffin, the fictional J.T. Matthews). razz

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

Little Richard has already been portrayed but I did not particually care for the movie. I think he deserves a Ray Charles big screen movie treatment.
